If you have turned in your keys and moved out of your rented property, it is generally a good idea to cancel your renter's insurance policy. However, there are a few things to consider before canceling your policy:
- Your lease agreement: Check your lease agreement to see if there are any requirements for maintaining renter's insurance coverage until the end of your lease term.
- Refunds: Check with your insurance company to see if you are eligible for a refund of any unused premium. Some insurance companies may prorate the premium based on the time left in the policy period, while others may require a full premium payment for the entire term.
- Liability coverage: If you have liability coverage as part of your renter's insurance policy, it may be beneficial to maintain this coverage for a short time after moving out, in case of any potential lawsuits related to the time you lived in the rental property.
- Future rentals: If you plan to rent again in the near future, it may be a good idea to maintain renter's insurance coverage so that you are protected in your new rental property.
